Attention students - amazing Monday deal - 50% off. I discovered this as I was randomly walking by on the way to the library. I filled up a medium container of food for about $10 - which really cost me $5. I did however have to be strategic -…More »

Love at first bite also has a second menu with all Thai food! I visited with Laura T and wasn't in a pizza mood, so I ordered off their vegetarian Thai menu. I had the tofu stirfy with steamed rice. It was a nice simple dish with lots of tofu and…More »

Z-Teca isn't amazing, but it's definitely as not terrible as these reviews make it sound.  (Although, I've never found the muck served at Burrito Boyz to be that enjoyable).  I had a vegetarian burrito on whole wheat. As far as vegetarian burritos…More »

The new Starbucks at Ryerson is finally open, and has already been bustling with excited students. Located at the corner of Gerard and Church, right up the street from the Rogers Communications Centre, the coffee shop is open every day until 10 p.m.…More »

Metro is lucky because Ryerson is a fairly useless campus when it comes to fresh food.  The Metro is 24/7, which is very convenient - especially since not much is open on campus on weekends or past 5 pm. The store has a pretty big hot food area with…More »

This is a fun spot for a late-night drink (good for groups), but the food is crappy and over-priced.

If you're there for a few drinks or on the patio, I recommend getting an ice berg beer! It's a  pint of beer with a piece of flavoured ice that…More »

Good spot for a quick sandwich in the Eaton's Centre. I go for the egg salad on pumpernickel (vegetarians can choose from egg, hummus/veg or grilled cheese). It's one of my favourite spots for egg salad - not too creamy and you can top it with…More »

Freshii can be a great, healthy lunch option, but there are some rules I've learned when it comes to ordering:

1) Custom order everything or it will be full of random sauces, rice and noodles.

2) Order a salad -They have a huge selection of toppings…More »

I would never recommend anyone try and do any real shopping here (unless you go when it first opens or right when it's going to close) It's always a zoo, especially during holidays or back to school. You'll get a mega-headache trying to do anything…More »

Love this spot for a latte or Americano to go.I don't find it a very enjoyable atmosphere to stick around - it's very crowded and always busy. The drinks are excellent though. If you get an Americano, they ask you how much hot water you'd like. The…More »

I generally avoid the chain restauarants in this area, but it's tough when you're near Yonge/Dundas every day! I went for dinner on a Monday night and it was not busy at all.  I was pleasantly surprised to see big black booths and quiet, private-ish…More »

This is an excellent pub for one or two pints after work. I went on a Tuesday night and it was full of corporate types, but still quite cozy. The bottom is a restaurant, and the upstairs is more lounge-like with big couches/chairs and tables. They…More »

Unlike many reviewers, I really enjoyed eating here!

The decor is really nice, they plate each dish beautifully, the service is fast and friendly, portions are generous, and it's also incredibly cheap. The $3 tempura plate comes with about 6 very…More »
